BARRIE- A mother and daughter were stopped by security at an Essa Road grocery store Wednesday afternoon. Police said the pair allegedly stole some items by hiding them inside a re-usable grocery bag. While the 75-year-old mother went outside, the 46-year-old daughter paid for a case of water.
Police believe the daughter had a developmental disability and didn’t understand the situation that had allegedly occurred. The mother was charged with theft and given a future court date.
